Dehydration/humidity

does it also have a hygrometer

Are you asking me? If so, yes, mine has a hygrometer too. I struggle with humidity in only one of my cages, even though they are side by side with the same temps....

Oh, no...no I don't. I keep it on top of the tank. Should I put it inside? I have another smaller accurite thermostat/hygrometer that I have anchored to the center back wall of each cage to measure ambient temps, and then just a plain digial proble for the cool side.
I never thought to put the unit inside the tank....

Well, if you have something in the tank that is measuring humidity digitally then you are fine.

Just a quick note. If you dont catch your bp drinking from the water bowl, and still looking wrinkly after getting your setup up to par, try dribbling water over his/her head with a childrens cough syrup syringe, some snakes seem to enjoy this very much, you will know if s/he is drinking when the jaws start moving. I had a chondro who never drank water until i started doing this. Just a thought.
